im just worried about battery life, i heard sp sucks for trips. and how much will it cost to put a backlight in a gba

i'd get the gba sp. it's smaller. and u don't have to use the light 24/7. so it's pretty much the same battery wise. also, the sp has a rechargable battery. that'll come in handy

The GBA is hard to bloody see the screen off, feels semi-bulky in the hands as well but slightly cheaper

The GBA SP is small yet has an easy feel to it. Has a backlight which can be turned off (expect to only be able to see the screen when it's on though :P), and is stylish - If you don't want to be seen as a geek, you can fake it as a two-way ;)

the gba BL has a weird look when you put it in. it adds bulk

Get neither.

A newer GB is around the corner and may not be backward compatible. ;)

how exactly is that better? what does the lights uses to stay lit?...battery? then it would suck those battery that cant be recharge....you end up buying new battery......now tell me y that is better?

i would go sp. the only complaints i got about sp is the l and r buttons. they are so small now. and its a little flimpsy (i dont know how to put it to word) but overall the sp is very well design
